Tips
About
Your
Audio
System
I
Hearing
damage
from
loud
noise
is almost
undetectable
until
it
is
too
late. Your hearing
can
adapt
to
higher
volumes
of
sound.
Sound
that
seems
normal
can
be
loud
and
harmful
to
your
hearing.
Take
precautions
by
adjusting
the
volume
control
on
your
radio
to
a
safe
sound
level
before
your
hearing
adapts
to
it.
